Learning outcomes
The course examines various topics relevant to the operation and design of electric power stations, with particular reference to the dynamic behavior of synchronous machines, excitation systems, prime movers and energy supply systems and to the design of both the connection of power stations to the transmission grid and the design of the electric auxiliaries' system.
Course contents
- Dynamic models of synchronous machines. Electrical transient performance characteristics of synchronous machines. Protections.
- Excitation systems. Connection of power stations to the transmission grid and auxiliaries' system.
- Dynamic behavior of hydroelectric power plants. Hydraulic turbines and governing systems.
- Dynamic behavior of steam turbines and their governing systems. Steam generator transient behaviour. Gas turbines and combined-cycle units.
- Embedded generation.
Readings/Bibliography
Lecture notes in Italian are available at the web site AMS campus.
Assessment methods
Oral final exam (exam schedules at https://almaesami.unibo.it). The spoken exam at the end
of the course aims at assessing the achievement of the learning
objectives. The final grade is defined on the basis of the partial
grades reported in three specific questions on topics related to
the main contents of the course.
